The excitement
continues
The final day of the secondary school Games Carnival 2006 dawned bright
and sunny at the Cempaka Cheras grounds on Saturday.
As the morning sun rose above the horizon, the action on the field also
heated up.
The events that were held include Basketball, Volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee
and Soccer 5-a-side. Softball, Tennis, and Handball finals were also brought
forward, due to a slight drizzle that hampered their game on Friday.
Beruang dominated the fast-paced game of Ultimate Frisbee, a recent addition
to the wide selection of sports played during the Games Carnival. The
Bears dispatched Helang 5-0 in the preliminary match to qualify for the
finals. They consequently defeated Harimau 4-1, romping their way to the
gold. Helang and Seladang secured the 3rd and 4th placing respectively.
On the other end of the playing field, 5-a-side soccer was attracting
plenty of attention. The Helang and Harimau teams went head-to-head after
claiming victory over Beruang and Seladang. It was a heart-stopping match,
with both sides displaying equal skill and dexterity with the ball. In
spite of this, the Eagles were ultimately no match for the Tigers, captained
by the adept Zatesa Ahmad-the game ended 2-1 to the jubilant Harimaus.
Meanwhile on the tennis courts, Seladang determinedly continued their
winning streak, clinching the gold in the men's doubles and women's singles
events. Formidable doubles pair Wong Wen Jun and Vivek Vasant trounced
Beruang's Elias Johari and Leon Ang with a stunning 8-1 win. Meanwhile,
Juvene Goh of Seladang slogged for a closely-contested 8-6 triumph over
Lee Kit Yen.
"It was a scary experience for me because Juvene is much older and
definitely more experienced. However, I'm satisfied with the outcome (of
the match)," said an upbeat Lee after the match had commenced.
Seladang also emerged victorious in volleyball, whilst Harimau clawed
their way to the gold in basketball (by a one point deficit) and handball.
